rs it right that any virtuous woman
L should be left homeless and unprO-

are. And why?
There are paratively few homes
entirely free from incumbrance, by
mortgage or otherwise; and in very
many cases, on the decease of the hus

are forced from their long cherished
abode. He had his property nearly

Ferdinand.

LONDON, Aug. 25.-The Standard
correspondent at Sofia says: t"Prince
Ferdinand is depressed in consequence of
the isolation in which he finds himself at
home and abroad"
Turkey has refused to assent to Russia's
proposals for coercive action toward Bull
garia, either in the form of occupation or
by sending Artin Etfendi with a Russian
commissioner to Bulgaria to secure the
election Of a new sobranje and a new
prince. Turkey prefers to await con
certed action by all the powers, parties to
the Berlin treaty, to Fastening a quarrel
with the Bulgarians. 1t is the general
opinion of the leading European diplomats
that Germany gave her assent to the
Russian proposals for an Ottoman com
mission and a Russian general to settle
the Bulgarian question merely to place
herself in a position to be able to prevent
Russia from taking any precipitate action
which might again set the Balkans ablaze.
ROME, Aug. 25.-The government has
replied to the porte's note that Italy con-
siders the election of Prince Ferdinand to
the throne of Bulgaria legal, but that his
assumption of power is contrary to the
Berlin treaty. The reply expresses the
hope that the powers will succeed in
etfecting a pacific solution of the problem.

New York, Aug. 25.-Among the i'm
migrants who arrived in the Guion line
steamship Alaska, some days ago, were
Bridget Mooney, aged ~, and her niece,
aged 46. They came from county Glare,
Ireland, and are on their way to Montana
to claim a fortune left by Mrs. Moneys
son, who died some time ago. The young
man came to this country some years ago
and made a fortune. He sent remittances
to his mother to enable her to live com
iortably. Lately, receiving no letters, she
concluded that something was wrong and
wrote to the authorities in Montana. A
month ago a reply was received from the
probate Judge at Fieldbrook, Fergus
county, Mont, stating that the man had
died and bcqucathed to his aged mother
and cousin 500, 900. The couple got to
gether all their possessions in Ireland and
sailed for this country. Father Riordan
will send them to Montana.

Miners on a Riot.

WHKEsBARRE, Pa, Aug. ga riot
took place Sunday at Glen Lyon. FIVE
miles from Nanticoke. in which 300
miners were engaged. The combatants
were composed of men of all ~nationalities,
lrishmen, Welshmen, Hungarians and
Poles being largely represented. Strange
ly enough, the occurrence was inspired by
3 Methodist preacher named Taggart.
1t seems that it has been the custom of
several Hungarian and Polish merchants
of Nanticoke to send peddlers to Glen
Lyon daily to supply certain boarding
house keepers These latter In many in
stances are hired by young unmarried
men, who club and live together. They
order goods of the peddlers, who trust
them.
The Susquehanua Coal company always
selects Saturday for pay day. Heretofore
it has been their practice to pay at Nanti-
coke. On Saturday, however, for the
first time, they paid the men at Glen
Lyon. The following day, Sunday, has
always been chosen by the merchants to
make their collections. Rev. Mr.. Tag
CART, of Glen Lyon, has frequently
preached against this dissertation of the
Sabbath, and frequently determined to
put a stop to 1t if possible On Sunday
he organized a posse of his church mem
hers for that purpose. The men got wind
Of it, and made up their minds to resist.
The collectors made their appearance, and
the natural excitement of the momen was
augmented by a universal indulgence in
beer and whisky.
As the day advanced the churchmen
became alarmed at the situation and kept
themselves in hiding. The feeling Of an
tagonism was SO intense, however, that it
eliminated in a free fight between men
of opposite ~nationalities, all of the parti-
cipants being maddened with drink.
Soon 300 men were furiously engaged
with sticks, stones and clubs for
The riot lasted half an hour, and men
were struck down on all sides. Dozens
were carried away with cracked and bleed
ing heads to their homes. A few women
mixed in the fray, and several of them
were badly beaten.
The riot ceased only when the partici
pants were too few to carry it on, the
wounded requiring the attention of many
who did not return after they left the
field. 1t is reported that over sixty of the
rioters are seriously hurt, many of them
fatally. An investigation will be made,
with possible arrests. The town is in a
fever of wild excitement.

VIM. p. Steers is the husband of the
famous Calamity Jane. The pair now
reside at Lander, Fremont county. Steers
recently wrote a letter tot friend in this
city in which he states that he has sue
ceeded in getting away with the old
woman's watch and chain. Steers and
Calamity separate about four times every
year, and as often reunite. The dime

The Pope's Jubilee.

LONDON, Aug. 25.-The preparations
for the celebration of the pope's jubilee
will begin in Rome in September on an
extensive scale. Among the features of
the celebration will be an exhibition
which will be formally opened in the
presence of the pope, Dom Pedro II,
emperor Of Brazil and the ENJOYS Of all
the sovereigns Of Europe.
An ode to the pope will be written by
NJ. Gounod. and presented to the pope
on the anniversary of his ordination to
the priesthood, Dec. %, which day will
be the principal one of the celebration.
1t is the intention of those into whose
hands the arrangements for the celebra-
ton have been trusted, to surround the
occasion with a display of magnifcence
surprising any event that has occurred in
Europe within the century, and no ex-
pense will be spared to achieve the results
aimed at.

A Stay of Proceed1ngs-

WHITEHALL, N. y, Aug. 25.-Judge
Potter has granted a stay in the Sharp
case.
Judge Potter, in his decision, says:
Having became impressed with a clear
conviction that during the trial the court
fell into an error in the admission of some
of the evidence offered by the prosecu-
tiUn, and hat for these errors the ap
pellate court must grant defendant a new
trial.
Bourke Cochran this afternoon stated
that the case could not come off now un
til the general term, next October. APP
plication will at once be made to have
Sharp released on bail.

Accident on the u. p.

DENVER, Aug. 25.-An accident DC,
CURED on the east bound Union Pacific
express at Sand creek bridge, ten miles
east of here, about u o'clock last night,
resulting in the death of Engineer Master,
son and seriously wounding two or three
train men. The Union Pacific and Burl.
ington bridges cross this sandy creek al
most parallel and within a few feet of
each other. When the engineer of the
Union Pacific train, which leaves here
about thirty minutes ahead of the Burl-
Ington, was within a few feet of the
bridge he was Mortified to see that the
flood OF the early part of the evening had
washed the middle section away. The
fireman Jumped into the stream and
stuck In the sand. He was taken out
a half hour later in an unconscious condi-
ton and may die. Masterson grabbed the
lever and reversed the engine Just as it
plunged into the water with the baggage
car on top. His body was buried in the
sand and has not yet been recovered. The
engine was completely submerged with
sand. Baggageman Breedlove was badly
injured by falling trunks. An old Ger
man woman living neal heard the cries of
the frightened people and rushed out
with lanterns and stopped the approaching
express on the Burlington within a few
feet of the bridge, probably saving other
lives, as the bridge of this road was also
IN a very dangerous condition.
A young fellow by the name of Can
der, who was stealing a ride on the front
end of the baggage car at the time of the
accident, was found neal the bank of the
creek early this morning badly scalded
about the head and chest and his hin
badly crushed. He was taken to his
fathers residence in this city and died
about noon. The body of Engineer
Masterson is supposed to be buried under
the engine.

then turned south, and ran for dear life,
spilling the wagon-bed at the railroad

Cattle Dehorning Commenced.

OdCGl0 D0uOruluS SOumSuC0u.
DR.. Conger has had forty-nine of his
cattle dehorned Of the bunch thus
treated, there are forty-eight calves and
one COW. The horns of the COW we're
sawn off close to the head. Those of the
calves were grappled out by the roots.
The animals are said to give little evil
dence of suffering from this process.
When turned loose from the ordeal, they
are said to commence eating grass.
Captain j. M. Welch has sent off for
an instrument which is made for the pur-
pose of dehorning cattle, and, after re-
ceiving this, he will dehorn at least a por-
ton of his herd. This dehorning idea
is growing in various portions of the
country. Hornless cattle are prevented
from hooking one another, and less stable
room is required than for the same num-
Der of cattle with horns.

A NEW IDEA.

In the district court of Finney county
suit has been brought by Ben Blanch-
ard, of Terre Haute, Ind, to test whether
a purchaser who makes a payment on
property, and fails to make the other
payments, has an equity in the property
in proportion to what he paid.
The suit involves, says the Topeka
Capital, the title to $4,000 acres of land in
Finney county, valued at over 100000.
Several .years ago, Mr.. Blanchard, who
was an agent of the A., T. & S. F. railroad
at Terre Haute,' bought the above lands
from the company through their agent,
Mr.. I. r. Holmes, of Garden City, paying
$4,000 down to bind the sale, and agree
ing to pay the balance in thirty days.
Thirty days went by, and Mr. Blanchard
failed to show up. The company notified
him, and again at the end of three
months, and again at the end of six
months. One year having passed by,
and hearing nothing from Mr.. Blanchard,
the company again sold the lands, Mr..
Blanchard having forfeited the amount
paid on them. In the meantime Blanch-
had sold the lands to his father-in-law
for $4,000, giving him warranty deed,
and the father-in-law sold them back to
Blanchard for $4,000, giving him quit
claim deed. he..parties who purchased
the lands from the railroad company have
brought suit to quiet their title to the
lands. Mr. Blanchard expects to show
that he has an equity in the lands, hav-
having made payment of $4,000. The
company claims the $4,000 was forfeited,
as Blanchard failed to make his payment
according to agreement.
We have no idea that Mr.. Blanchard
will win in this suit. If he does, the de-
cision will start whole legion of past
purchasers of lands in western Kansas on
the keen run after 'equity rights"
